Radical diagnostics looks like the the path to follow but if you don't have a gas analyser of your own it will be expensiv...

Re: LPG

Pay close attention this may save you a lot of money. This install is on my daily driver a Mazda 626. It has the FS 2.0 DOHC motor with 180,000m already, most of those on the existing closed loop LPG system. I've done the manifold work with the manifold still in place.

Re: LPG

Hi Guys. I've completed the install on the Mazda and have the photos and blurb, but I'm having problems uploading the photos. Can you do your magic Mr Dodo? I've just acquired a similar kit for my Civic, watch this space for developments. :D
